Abronhill

About

Abronhill () is an area in the north-east of Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It extends one to two miles (two to three kilometres) from Cumbernauld Town Centre. Abronhill was planned with its own shopping centre and has three primary schools, along with several churches. Abronhill has 41 streets. Abronhill, and particularly the (now-demolished) Abronhill High School, (shut down in 2014 with secondary pupils now attending Cumbernauld Academy), were used extensively as the filming location for Bill Forsyth's 1981 film Gregory's Girl and its sequel Gregory's Two Girls.

All of the roads in the older part of Abronhill were named after trees, for example Cedar Road, and Oak Road. This is in contrast to other parts of the New Town where historic local placenames or famous Scots or their art were incorporated into the street names.
